I am always out of sync with majority. I guess experience is the teacher.

Opposites come to hate each other.

And those who test exactly the same are still often very different in interests and experiences, but at least your both normally in the same ballpark.

I happened to run into a women once who tested out to be my exact female counter part, fairly rare, we should have made a ideal couple. But our profiles and our lives were very different. I was already twice widowed, experienced you might say. As it turned out we fell in love on the first date, raped each other on the 2nd, and have been married 20 of the very best years of my life now.

so you know being compatible is not all that bad.....

Magnetic polar opposites attract. But people aren't magnates! We are either in love or we are selfishly or unconsciously kidding ourselves!

They attract and can quite often ignite with fun consequences, but in the long run I don't think the relationships have a good chance of making it unless one or the other (or both) is willing to change or adapt quite a bit.

While they may attract on the physical it's such a bad decision.While a fair amount of differences are more than welcome necessary even to keep things lively.You're inviting drama and conflict into your life if you choose your polar opposite. I prefer my life to be as strife free as possible and that can only happen if shared with someone of the same ethics and values .

I think they attract. My husband and I not not have many things in common. We each do our own thing. We still like to be together. The most important thing we have is we communicate. A couple that cannot communicate is in trouble.

I remember Katy being all into Russell before the wedding/marriage. She expressed it as something long lasting. Sad.

Yes but they have to have some things in common. Polar opposites usually do not work, but at least you should be 2 or 3 months apart.

Damn I meant to put "Yes". Even if they do attract, too many differences can cause them to "repel".

It could happen. But in order for it to work, you need to have good communication. I don't think Katy and Russell did too much communicating in the relationship.Probably only when they where going to an engagement

MissAdventure 2012/09/28 03:33:48

I've seen both sides of this one. In my experience, sometimes people who have opposite personality traits can get together, but things like religious beliefs and morals have to be nearly identical in order to really make things work.

Magnetic poles are attracted to their opposites. Opposite people are drawn to
eachother by physical attraction but more often than not they have little in common
and are not best suited for eachother.

Opposites attract but do NOT last.

kitsunejewel 2012/09/28 02:19:39

im kinda neutral on that opinion, its good to share some interests but I dont think both people have to be interested in all things alike, I think there should be a balance. I say people should have an emotional connection for then anything because eventually people do change

depends on the people.
I think that the perfect relationship is when your base values match, but your different enough to keep eachother interested.

She had a very religious childhood and she is apparently still quite religious, he is an atheist.
I know that much.
Also culture difference between the US and the UK would shock anyone.

I guess the only thing they had in common was that neither one of them knew it wasn't a good match beforehand. :(

You want a fit,energetic outdoors person but you are not fit,lazy and don't do outdoor activities,how are you able to get someone like that.You first have get out there get fit,strong and get involved outdoors.Then you go try to persue someone like that.Most likey you will have a great chance of finding that type of person.

Opposites definitely attract. I am more attracted to men who are very different to me than men who are too similar to me. But there also needs to be a balance. I think mostly opposite is what to aim for, instead of completely opposite.. Whether it lasts or not really depends on the individuals and their ability to accept differences and make it work, good communication etc etc.

Doesn't mean it'll end well. Magnets make it work, people usually don't. You need to be able to agree on something other than "We'll argue until the end of time".
